摘要
The research and development of multi-robot systems is a time and material consuming effort. In order to rapidly implement/test different models, scenarios, behaviors and control strategies, in the early stages of a project, multi-robot simulations provide valuable insights for validation. In this paper we present a new multi-robot 2D simulator through which rapid validation of multi-robot behaviors and formation control strategies can be achieved. The simulator is a self-contained application that provides effortless experiment configuration capabilities and integrates real-time experiment visualization. To demonstrate its capabilities we present its usage in the context of experimenting with two state of the art multi-robot formation control strategies.
